D.R. Semmes Foundation gift keeps science “at the core” of a liberal arts education, chief says.
Trinity University has announced the largest gift in its 155-year history, $26.5 million from the D.R. Semmes Foundation to expand hands-on learning and research. The newly named D.R. Semmes School of Science will honor the memory of Douglas Ramsey Semmes, an oilman who died in 1976. He created the foundation, which has helped the university for more than 70 years. “The sciences are at the core of a broad liberal arts education, and Trinity fundamentally understands this.
Trinity mourns death of its ‘last living legend’ “Trinity and the Semmes Foundation have long been partners in opportunities for undergraduate science education, and this historic investment will help us advance our mission to deliver world-class teaching and increase students’ access to research opportunities in STEM,” Beasley said.
Professors teach students stress relief “In so many ways, the Semmes Foundation has directly aided in the future and continuing success of all of the students I have had the privilege of mentoring at Trinity,” added current Semmes Distinguished Professor of Chemistry Jason Shearer. In addition to providing dedicated funding for undergraduate research opportunities and supporting faculty development, the gift will endow the dean and two faculty positions at the newly named school.
